Emperor’s Conquest - Chapter 4

The car had left the palace gate and headed for the way back to the house. The car drove slightly, and the heavily embroidered curtains blocked the sun outside.

I sat upright on a soft couch, with my head and neck straight, and cold hands and feet. I always maintained this proud posture, stepped out of the East Palace, walked through the palace door, and stepped on a car … until this moment, I was left alone, tight The stretched body seemed to be out of control. There is a strong and icy force that runs through me and supports my full will, not to be weak and weak.

However, my mind was blank, and my mind was drowsy, as if I had fallen into the mist, and could not see the surroundings and could not grasp everything.

It was far away from Miyagi, but the words of her aunt’s talent were still lingering in her ears.

Her words, every word, every word, were like coals, like ice, making my body cold and hot for a while.

I clasped my hands and pressed my nails firmly into my palm. Even this sharp pain couldn’t shake the confusion in my heart.

There was a faint voice from the guard in front of the road, and the people on the sidelines evaded, and the voice was loud.

Knowing that the guard of honor is strict, it is impossible to see my half finger close to each other, but people are still scrambling to run the risk of being beaten with a long whip, and they also want to see the glory of the Lord of Yangyang County, even if only looking at the car The shadow, smelling a scent of incense, also made them excited.

Already used to such noise, at this moment, I suddenly felt bitter and bitter.

They are not looking at me, but the Lord of Yangyang County.

What the world is vying for is the daughter of the Wang family who is famous all over the world.

Who I am, beauty or ugliness, crying or laughing, no one cares.

Suddenly, waking up like a dream, I suddenly wanted to laugh loudly, but tears burst into my eyes.

In the noise, I slowly opened the curtain.

The crowds of onlookers suddenly calmed down.

Under the splendid autumn sun, I quietly glanced down, stared at the crowd in front of me, and smiled.

The silent people suddenly made more amazing noises, and the overwhelming noise almost wiped me out …

Replaying the drapery, I closed my eyes and leaned on the soft couch, and finally burst into tears.

If I were n’t named Wang, if I was n’t born in this family, at this moment, I would n’t be sitting in a high car, accepting everyone ’s admiration … maybe, I would be crowded like that girl Stepping on the side of the road, he might look like a maid behind the car, leaving it to dust.

Who cares about the beauty and beauty of a flower girl, and who believes that a waiter may be shocked.

I have more than them, but it’s just an identity.

All the way, I didn’t feel that I had arrived at the house.

Stepping into the atrium, and before coming back to the room, I heard the mother’s crying faintly.

I held Jin’er’s hand, but I felt the ground sway slightly, and my heart floated suddenly, looking at the familiar courtyard in front of me, but I didn’t have the courage to step forward.

The short walk from the vestibule to the inner hall seemed as if it had been so long and difficult.

Kuang Yan cracked, shocking me and Jin Er.

Gong kiln ice-patterned white jade jade was thrown out of the door and fell to pieces, accompanied by the mother’s weeping cry, “What kind of father are you and what prime minister!

“Jinru, as the eldest princess, you should understand that this is a state affairs, not a family thing for us.” My father’s voice was desolate and weak.

I stopped and stood at the door, motionless.

Jin Er could not stop shaking, I looked at her side by side, this little girl was frightened.

I smiled at her, but saw her smile in her clear eyes, even paler than her pale complexion.

The mother’s voice is hoarse, sad and distressed, and she has no previous grace. “What princess, what national affairs, I only know that I am a mother! Parents in the world, love their children far more than themselves, are you not the grandmother’s father? , Wouldn’t you be sad? “

“I’m not just the father of these children, I’m the eldest son of Wang’s family, and I’m the prime minister.” His father’s voice was shaking, “Jinru, you and I have not only a daughter, a family, and a country! Ah’s Marriage is not our marriage, but the marriage of the Wang family and the entire clan! “

“Let my daughter go to marry and embrace the army, but what do you manchu wuwu do?” The mother snapped.

This retorted, pinned on my heart like a needle-yes, mother, this is the sentence I want to ask the most.

My father didn’t answer. Silence, sudden silence, made my breath freeze on my chest.

I thought my father would not answer, but I heard his somber and weak voice, “Do you think that today’s gentlemen are still the scenery of the past, and is the peace of the world still the same?”

My father’s voice was abrupt and dumb. Is this still my father’s voice … When my grand father, who was so tall and big, became so old and so weak!

His chest twitched tightly, as if held by an invisible hand, and dragged straight down.

“You were born in Shen Gong and married into Xiangfu. All you see and hear is splendid, but Jinru, don’t you really know that the imperial court has been sinking for a long time, the military power is out, and the civil chaos has risen. The family of gatekeepers is long gone now … Do you think that our Wang family can be so prominent today, is it really just relying on the in-laws with the royal family? “

The mother didn’t say anything, only long sobbing.

His father’s words were poured like ice water.

“You also saw how the Xie family and Gu family were declining. Which one has not covered the power and which one has no royal in-laws? Jin Ru, don’t you really do n’t understand it, just refuse to believe it … In these years, I have been suffering How could the forces that maintain the Korean family be so smooth without King Qingyang’s prestige in the army? “

King Qingyang, who has been dead for two years, was shocked to hear his name.

This name was once a symbol of the mighty military dynasty.

My two aunts, one is the Queen and the other is Princess Qingyang.

It was just that my aunt died very early, and my uncle Wang Qingyang was stationed at the border for many years, and even my impression of him was very sparse.

“Since the death of King Qingyang two years ago, the power of the royal family and the clan in the army has been exhausted, and there is no one to continue.”

Father came in dumb, full of helplessness.

After that seven-year war, the scholars who had always admired the literati genius and had good sexuality were no longer willing to join the army.

They only love Yeye Shengge, poetry and wine, even if they have nothing to do with their lives, they still have hereditary officials.

“The only men left in the army to fight in the army are the flesh and blood of the Han family. They are all hard-working men and women, and they are no longer low-ranking martial arts men. Wang Yuzhang alone holds great power in the army and depends on him Anbang settled the country, not to mention the clan family, even the royal family also avoided him by three points. Now he has made great achievements, and even the gift promised by the emperor himself, even I did not expect that he would marry Imam … this marriage, if If you do not agree, you will make the emperor say nothing and make the emperor’s sinner, and the grievance between the two factions will intensify; if you do, it will be to win the army’s support for us again … “

“Father, use a woman’s marriage to consolidate family power, not her husband!”

The elder brother’s voice suddenly rang from behind, and he was always behind me.

“Brother!” I exclaimed, reaching out to stop him.

But he didn’t look at me, just pushed in the door and stood upright in front of his parents.

Tears suddenly blurred my eyes and I couldn’t see the expression of my parents.

“Brother, don’t …” I rushed in and couldn’t wait to grab his sleeves. The brother had lifted his shirt and knelt straight down, “Father, I want to join the army!”

I shuddered like a lightning strike.

The father stood there, his grey hair trembling slightly, and his straight and tough body suddenly fell down.

The mother fluttered, and before she could not utter a weeping cry, she fell into the chair softly.

I hurried to step forward, trying to help my mother, but my body suddenly became weak, a knee bent, and fell to the ground.

“Ah-“, Dad and brother exclaimed at the same time, the brother grabbed me and hugged me.

Leaning on my brother’s arms, I suddenly felt at ease, very relieved, just like when I was asleep when I was studying and was brought back to his bed … I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled in my brother’s arms.

Brother, father, mother, their faces are deeply reflected in my eyes.

I lower my head, infinitely shy, “I admired King Yuzhang for a long time. It is the glory of my daughter to marry such a heroic man.”

Silent, silent like death.

“You, you–” My mother trembled and raised her finger at me, unable to say a word.

My brother held my hand and became colder, but held me tighter.

Dad looked at me, his eyes were straight, and his sadness grew deeper.

I straightened my head and neck, facing dad’s gaze, hearing my voice low and firm, “I’m willing to marry Yuzhang Wang Xiaoyu!”

As a result, the peaks turn round, and everyone is happy.

The decree of the emperor’s marriage was awarded three days later, and the palace was kneeling down to welcome gratitude.

King Yuzhang’s marriage to the Lord of Shangyang County became a sensation in Jinghua.

They said that one is a world hero with power, and the other is a Kuangdai beauties of Jinzhiyuye, everyone praises and admires, for a good period of golden jade good fortune, the combination of heaven … Who does not love to see heroes and beauties, who do not envy the gods and relatives.

Maybe, right.

I finally know that a good marriage requires only a court match and no need for love.

However, I don’t care how the world looks and how to say it.

Father, mother, brother … what everyone said, I vaguely remember, but vaguely do not remember.

The emperor and queen summoned me and said what I forgot.

King Yuzhang ’s engagement gift is amazing, and the reward from the emperor is even more dizzying.

The dowry from the queen carried me into the house for three consecutive days.

Wedding dresses, phoenix crowns, kasumi, dazzling pearls and dazzling treasures.

Xi Niang said that when Her Royal Highness got married, there was no such luxurious arrangement.

It was as if my sister came to see me and congratulated me as my concubine.

She retired, and she cried when only the two of us were left.

“Zi hasn’t heard of your big wedding yet.” She burst into tears.

I bowed my head and took the dowry she gave me. Once I spent the hands of a master craftsman, I used the phoenix made from the millennium mysterious pearl to play with it in my hands, and smiled slightly. Book princess. Time flies so fast … When I was a child, my intimate playmate always grew up and separated. “

It was as if my sister lifted her eyes and looked at me with tears, “Can you really forget him?”

I lifted my eyes lightly, and inserted the phoenix into the room with a smile, and saw my eyebrows in the mirror calm and smile with grace.

“Ama always admired the hero man who stood up to the ground, and King Yuzhang was the one I wanted to marry.”

I said to hear it like sister, but also to myself.

After that, until I got married, it was as if my sister had never seen me again.

Ziyi will know my words from her.

Ziyi will blame me, blame me, and then forget me.

The son-in-law will register the princess and will marry a beautiful and princess.

Ziyi will live with her lovingly, red sleeves add fragrant, frowning on the case, and spend a long time together until they grow old.

Zizi, Zizi, Zizi …

The sky turns round, all sky is his name, all his face.

The slightest pain was not sharp enough, but slowly in the deepest part of the heart, the dull dull pain was opened.

The marriage period is approaching.

The family became very busy, and Aunt Xu went in and out every day to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

However, I have nothing to do. I do n’t have to enter the palace to greet me. I do n’t have to step out of the house. I just sit dignified in the room, listen to the palace princes to learn the wedding rituals, and teach me one thing to remember, what to do, what to do … … Someone comes to Daoxi constantly, and the good reputation is full of ears.

Morning twilight and twilight, slipped like water in the chaos.

At night, I always read a book and saw it very late, until it was deeper and quieter, until I was so sleepy that I could not open my eyes.

Only in this way, I don’t have the energy to think too much, and I don’t have time to think about Zi Zi.

Occasionally, I would think of that distant, fuzzy, but very clear name, the beloved I am about to marry … I can’t remember his figure, I have never seen his face. But a glimpse of the shock in the army was always lingering in front of him.

Xiao Yan, this name will be associated with me forever.

Princess Yuzhang, from then on I will no longer be the carefree Lord of Shangyang County, but in this new identity, I will go to this unknowable life with the man who lives awkwardly …

Fifteen days later, my big wedding is coming.

My wedding was held in accordance with the etiquette of the princess’s marriage. I started to dress up in the middle of the night. Before dawn, I kneeled and resigned to my parents. Then I went to the palace and thanked the emperor and the emperor. The door is full of joy and happiness, paved with bright red brocade along the way, the golden petals of acacia sprinkled all the way, flying in the sky, six hundred palace people, red lotus flower veil, green feather cover, surrounded by the golden red six phoenix car, Like a dragon, it passes through Miyagi, Imperial City, and the Inner City to reach the palace of Yuzhang.

In the cave room, the two hi-nives took their servants and maids around, and the sound of joy outside was endless.

The phoenix crown dress and the thick kerchief made me unmovable.

Jin’er was whispering from time to time to say something happy and auspicious, pleased me, but I could hardly listen.

From the middle of the night to the present, under the thick kerchief, my world is chaotic, and I can’t see anything, I can hear the joy of the noise in my ears, and never stop from morning to now.

Suddenly, Xi Niang was led to worship and was introduced into the cave.

After entering the cave room, it was a little quieter for a while, and the hi ladies began to toss again and again, praying endlessly for blessing and song.

According to the rules, I must wait for the groom to enter the cave before eating and drinking.

Fortunately, Jin’er was very smart, and quietly gave me the bird’s nest, otherwise I don’t know if I have the strength to sit until now.

After a while, I will face the worst moment of tonight.

That man, the one who awes the world like a demon, is now my husband.

Just worshiped with him just now, and he saw his toes faintly under the cover towel.

So close, he is so close to me.

I saw people who had shocked me from afar that day, but now I was close at hand, but I was no longer afraid.

This is my marriage, my beloved.

Rather than calm down.

He is also a mortal mortal. Maybe he doesn’t have to be so terrible, maybe my marriage is not so bad.

As my brother persuaded me, King Yuzhang is a very good man, a hero and a beauty, who is a good match.

I smiled in return, maybe.

As long as it is not the worst, there is always a glimmer of hope.

I do not know when the sound of joy outside the bamboo stopped.

It’s still early, how could this end the magpie so quickly.

After a while, Xi Niang began to secretly eagerly.

I straightened up and was slightly surprised. I was thinking of asking Jiner to go outside to see, but I heard footsteps rushing.

What followed was the chaos of people outside the door.

“The general’s armor and sword are on his body. The swordsman’s things are fierce. Do not approach the cave. Stop the army.”

“At the end of the order, I will be ordered by the Lord, and I must report to the Princess in person.”

A man’s voice, as hard as a stone, without any emotion, was shocked by the night of the cave.

“Slaves can pass on for generations. The princess and the ritual are on her body and cannot meet outsiders.”

“In an emergency, the Lord ordered Yi etiquette to obey power, and asked the Princess to forgive her.”

At the door, Aunt Xu couldn’t hold on to her, and her voice was already a little angry.

I stood up, Fang was together, and my eyes were dizzy.

“The princess is careful.” Jiner hurriedly supported me.

The phoenix crown was so heavily pressed on my head that I could barely straighten my neck.

I tried my best to walk up to the door and said lightly, “Here is the palace, please have something to say.”

There was a silence outside for a moment, and the man still spoke with a stubborn voice. “Prince Qiyu, before receiving the lacquer book, she hurriedly told Jizhou to fail, and 100,000 people were in a hurry in front. The lord had gone to the camp of Xingfu, and immediately led the army to support him. The princess, because of an emergency, has no time to resign to the princess in person, and after the king has calmed down the rebellion, she should plead guilty to the princess. “

There was a moment of blankness in my mind.

After a while, I suddenly returned to my heart.

He was saying that, in the night of the cave house, my husband-in-law left Beijing to set out before entering the cave house.

I didn’t even know his appearance and voice, so I was thrown into the cavern and spent my wedding night alone.

I suddenly wanted to laugh but couldn’t laugh.

This dignified King Yuzhang originally asked him to marry the emperor and marry my family.

No matter for what, whether he is willing or not, he always asked for it himself.

I still tried my best to make every effort, and at this moment, he passed away a book of fire paint, wasn’t he too lazy to take care of it? How much time can it take to speak in person, even if the military situation is in full swing, the eyebrows may not be burned.

I don’t care if he follows me or whether he considers my feelings.

But I absolutely cannot tolerate him so humiliating me, humiliating my family.

The upheaval was overwhelming.

The servant wife Xi Niang was trembling, even Jiner didn’t dare to say a word.

Probably never saw the scene of the groom leaving, leaving the cave house in disregard, and everyone was overwhelmed by the change, all of them stunned and looked at each other for a while.

The phoenix crown on my head almost choked me.

I finally laughed out loud. In the lonely room, all I heard was a long laugh.

The door of the room with the big red hi word was pushed open by me.

I lifted my hand and took off the cover towel.

The concubine servant was surprised, and she knelt down one by one. The concubine headed by the concubine hurriedly said, “The princess cannot, the wedding ceremony has not been completed, and the cover must not be opened!”

In front of several men with armored swords, the head saw me suddenly, stunned, and saw that I lifted the cover, but didn’t even know to look down to avoid, they stared at my face and returned after a while. God came, and took the lead to bend his knees and kneel, followed by several people kneeling on one knee, with iron armor making a cold and hard scratching sound peculiar to metal.

I stared coldly at the person kneeling in front of me, the body of which was glazed with iron, flashing cold and cold, and knelt there immovably like a stone carving.

The first time I saw a soldier with a heavy armored sword, I stood so close to me.

This is King Yuzhang’s guard general. I do n’t know what kind of person I am, and how cruel and ruthless I am.

Thinking of this, I did not anger and laugh, raising my hand and throwing the cover in front of him, “I’m sorry to ask the army to transfer this thing to the Lord, and tell him on my behalf. Since the wedding ceremony is in power, he will not be respected. . “

Xi Niang hurriedly stopped, “The princess is so angry that she cannot take away her hoodie at all, it is unlucky.”

“What are you talking about?” I said coldly, “Yu Zhang and Wang Tianzhang are wise, naturally they are lucky, and this palace has to meet good people and marry into the gate, which is a blessing.”

“The princess, please take back this thing. You will finally convey the princess’ heart to the princess, and hope that the princess is treasured.” The man lowered his head and held up the cover towel with his hands. The last sentence murmured, and it was no longer tough. .

I smiled slightly and said, “Are the generals going to lead people straight into the cave house, are you afraid of a trivial matter in this area?”

The man’s face was red with red ears, and he leaned down and nodded heavily, “The end will convict him!”

King Yuzhang didn’t leave without saying goodbye. Even a little general can bully the door with a firm voice, which is really arrogant.

Dad’s words are true, these self-respecting generals no longer have half awe for our clan.

Since then, I marry into the gate, and I will be in this group of martial arts.

The night breeze passed through, and I slightly bowed my head, only to feel that everything was gray in my heart.

“General, please come back, this palace will not give it away.”

I turned and stepped into the room, and the door closed behind me.

In the red and beautiful cave, I suddenly faced a pair of huge red candles with high fever, and candle tears drooped from the bottom.

Throughout the night, I locked myself in the room, leaving no one to ask for anything outside the door, and my mother was turned away.

They both worry too much. I don’t feel sad or angry. I’m just tired and don’t want to pretend to smile.

The bottom of my heart is empty, just like this empty cave house, only my own shadow is set against the splendid eyes.

I can’t tell whether it’s desolate or cold, covering my chest, as if I can’t find any signs of beating.

So he fell on the bed, wrapped in a red wedding dress, and fell asleep.

No one in the dream saw him, no parents, no brothers, no children.

Only I was alone.
